The high school softball and baseball playoffs are in full swing in the St. Cloud area. The Alexandria Cardinals advanced in the Section 8AAA playoffs with a pair of 6-1 wins over Apollo and Sauk Rapids-Rice Monday afternoon.

Maybe it's because we've had to endure four straight horrific seasons, or maybe it's because there are legitimate reasons to be pessimistic about this years team; but as Bill Parcels once said, "You are who the numbers say you are." And the numbers say the Twins (26-18) are in second place, two games out of first.

The St. Cloud State men's basketball team signed 2 players to NSIC and National letters of intent. The two are 6''5 190 pound guard/forward Jake Mussman from St. Cloud Tech High School and 6'4 200 pound guard Gage Dave from Indiana Purdue-Fort Worth.

The Cathedral baseball team finished up an undefeated regular season Wednesday with a 9-3 win over ROCORI in Cold Spring. Senior Brindley Theisen picked up the win for the Crusaders and was 3-3 at the plate with a pair of RBI. Cathedral (17-0) will open the playoffs Tuesday night at Joe Faber Field.

The Cathedral softball team saw their season end with a 1-0 loss at Little Falls Tuesday afternoon in their playoff opener. Eighth-grader Megan Voit pitched a complete game, striking out ten Flyers, but took the tough-luck loss.

Tuesday's schedule features a matchup between undefeated Cathedral and Mora at the MAC in St. Cloud. The Crusaders narrowly defeated Mora 4-3 on April 28th. Tonight's game can be heard on AM 1390 The Fan beginning with the pregame show at 6:50.
